What colour is this?

[VULCANT]

Spotted this lovely v12s at FOS. Anyone on here? What's the colour called? DOesn't come across too well on the photo but it was a light and silvery shade of metallic green.

I'm currently seeking a V12 Vantage S Coupe (must be manual), please feel free to PM if you have one for sale, thanks.

Hi Vulcan - probably Hardly Green but difficult to tell. I may also have spealt that wrong - Hardley? I know someone who will be along shortly to correct me......

Always here to help Jon....

Doesn't look like HG to me; not quite green enough. The Vanquish below looks to be the same, and it is a shade of green (if you want to call it that) that I had never seen before until the similar photo above. It is very silvery with a hint of green.

I’ll take a punt on Arizona Bronze..?

[IanV12VSRs]

I wouldn’t have thought it is Hardly Green because it is quite a bit greener than that one despite being “hardly”



I have seen other pictures of the car where it just looks silver and no green tint showing. I thought it might have been magnetic silver but that looks quite a bit darker in the pictures I have seen.

Yes it's not that one, it was kind of a silvery/goldy green! Sounds very odd I know, but it looked lovely.

Forgot about that shade. You're probably right.

[VULCANT]

Yes that will be it! Thanks - now if only I could find the owner and twist his arm to sell..

Romans have a DB11 in Arden Green. Does this look like the colour?

Forget the exterior colour - that interior is gorgeous

Can't beat a cream interior

Yup that’s the one.

That's what took me so long when first joining the 'club'. Black, black, and more black. But when your pockets can't quite afford that 'cup of coffee' you just have to wait till something other than black comes along. Have always loved natural leather color - light brown. Is there some advantage to having black leather that I'm unaware?

Ah... Mr Phart - an excellent observation

Yep AM owners all have class through to their bones (no bias from me, of course ), yet one thing we don’t display is acceptance of a broad colour palette!

I had to lump for a black interior, because all the Vantages I saw at the time had black. Apart from one in the most vibrant red, which was the other extreme when applied to all surfaces!

My constellation prize was yellow contrast stitching which is very nice. And I think the reason is simply it’s the easiest to maintain and look “as new”. Very light tans get colour transfer from clothes, especially blue jeans. Brown isn’t to all tastes, but there is an interesting example of a Chestnut tan interior over at Bristol at the moment:

I like that it’s at least different. But a bit too much brown for my tastes.

There are blues in brochure examples, but these were rarely taken up.

Personally, a contrast interior of two colours, typically one being black, is always very smart. Especially a Sahara-type tan (lighter golden brown).

I’m starting to look around now for a semi-auto V8VS now as a dodgy left arm is meaning the stick is giving me hassle after even short drives. Finding that perfect interior - dodging the Black-on-Black-on-Black is going to be a challenge...

Usually fewer reflections in the front and rear screens with black, bit its less of a problem with a 4x4 that has upright screen that you look through higher up.
Thought they were changing the intereior on some early 11s due to this problem.

I do not suffer with any reflection issues at all
